The Best Hotels in Los Angeles Are Straight Out of Your Favorite Movies

Located in the Golden Triangle of Beverly Hills, this former Montage now has a modern California levity, while still holding true to the luxury touch points of five-star service for which one of the world’s most exclusive neighborhoods—and hotel brands—is known. It’s not unusual to experience celebrity sightings on the Terrace, where agents from the nearby buildings mix with a well-heeled jet set crowd. For a traditional ritual with a stylish twist, you can indulge in Prêt-à-Portea, a haute-couture afternoon tea hosted in the elegant Terrace Tea Room. Sipping on the perfect gin martini from The Connaught—the sister hotel from Across the Pond—while gazing out at the plaza’s oversize fountain, you’d swear that you were in Europe, but the pooches in Prada are a dead giveaway that you’re most definitely in Beverly Hills. The indulgence continues at The Maybourne Bar, discreetly tucked away adjacent to check-in, which features Beverly Hills’ only dedicated caviar and oyster bar experience. When you’re not luxuriating in your room, make use of the 20,000-square-foot spa, which includes a stunning riad-style mineral pool, saunas, Turkish steam rooms, and Balinese inspired relaxation rooms. To top off the evening, head up to Dante Beverly Hills. Perched on the 9th floor adjacent to the rooftop pool, this first West Coast outpost of the NYC restaurant and aperitivo bar offers incredible Italian-Mediterranean fare alongside sweeping views of the Hollywood Hills.
